from there to here

for all of us who are enjoying playing chess so much i will say, it is a journey, becoming fuller and richer the farther along the path we go, and, speaking of paths, there are land marks that stand out in our memory, and sign posts that mark the way. one such land mark is the acheivement of the goal of reaching rating 1400, and today i want to commemorate that occurrence in my friend's life. HAPPY 1400 and upward DEAR opponent!
